Curly Prom Hairstyles

Curly prom hairstyles are making waves this upcoming prom season! Whether you are going for a fairytale princess up do, with trailing ringlets, or a sophisticated waved style taken right from the red carpet, curly prom hairstyles are very popular right now.

If you have naturally curly hair, you should count yourself lucky. Many of your classmates will be at the salon around prom time sitting under the dryer with a head full of hot rollers or getting a perm that you won't need. Curly hair tends to dry out so a few weeks before prom night start deep conditioning it weekly, or add in a leave in conditioner daily, to get your curls looking their best for the big night.

If you have wavy hair, you will find a variety of curl enhancing hair care products that are made with you in mind. After washing and conditioning your hair, simply add in the product of your choice and then dry your hair on low heat or with the aid of a diffuser so you don't blow dry the curl right out of your hair. If you scrunch your hair as you dry it, you'll be amazed at the curls you can get without having to use rollers or a curling iron.

The Curly Trend

One of the hottest looks for this prom season is the curly side styled look. This style has been seen on celebrities ranging from Carrie Underwood to Paula Abdul. A big part of its popularity is that it is so versatile - depending on how you wear it the look can be ultra-romantic, sassy and edgy, or sexy and classic. It is also amazingly simple to do. It can easily be done yourself, or with the help of your local hairstylist, and it is a great way to show off your prom jewelry since it puts your earrings in the spotlight and keeps your hair away from your necklace.

To get the side styled look, start on dry hair. Part your hair wherever you like, since the style looks great with both side and center parts. Pull your hair into a ponytail, but put the base of the pony tail just behind your ear or tucked right behind your ear lobe. If you have naturally curly hair, just scrunch the side swept pony tail and you're done. If you have straight hair, you'll want the help of a curling iron or rollers. You can keep it looking casual and carefree by taking a small curl and wrapping it around the base of your ponytail to hide the elastic or dress the look up by adding a jeweled rhinestone hair clip. Spray on some shine enhancing spray and you're ready for prom!
